Chapter 367 Who is so wicked as to prick me with a needle?
Song Yuntang thought about it and turned around.
"I'll go check on him first."
If the fever is severe, you may need to take medicine, otherwise you will become confused due to the fever.
At this time, she was only thinking about Xu Wencheng's illness and did not consider at all that Xu Wencheng was only one year younger than her and was a boy.
It is never a good idea for a sister-in-law to go into her brother-in-law's room alone in the middle of the night.
When Xu Qingye heard her say that she was going to see Xu Wencheng, he quickly got up and followed her.
"I will go with you."
The two men held up lights and came to Xu Wencheng's room. Due to his high body temperature, he looked like a cooked shrimp in Song Yuntang's eyes at this time.
I touched his forehead and it was still a little hot.
"Go get some water to wipe his body first. I'll go get some needles to reduce his fever. When it's daybreak, I'll get some medicine to boil for him."
"good."
Xu Qingye nodded, left the house with her, gave her the lamp in his hand, and went to the kitchen to get some water.
When Xu Wencheng was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt a pain as if he was being pricked by needles and could not help but mutter something under his breath.
"Who is so wicked as to prick me with a needle?"
After muttering something, he rubbed his eyes and opened them.
I thought I was dreaming, but when I woke up and saw the cold faces of my brother and sister-in-law appearing beside the bed, I was so scared that I almost died.
He was so frightened that he shrank towards the head of the bed, holding the quilt.
"Brother and sister-in-law, why are you in my room in the middle of the night? This is too scary!"
Song Yuntang put away the silver needle.
"You have a fever. If your eldest brother hadn't discovered it in time, you would have been burned to death."
Xu Qingye twisted a handkerchief and threw it at him without changing his expression.
"Wipe it off yourself."
Xu Wencheng took the handkerchief blankly and began to wipe his body.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang packed up the silver needles and went out first.
Xu Qingye cleaned up Xu Wencheng and the kitchen matters. Seeing that his fever had eased a little, he wanted to deal with it at Xu Wencheng's place, but when he returned to the room again, his brother's sleeping position made him at a loss as to where to start. He shook his head helplessly and turned back to his and Song Yuntang's room.
"Is the fever starting to subside?" Song Yuntang asked as soon as I sat down on the bed.
"You're not asleep yet?" Xu Qingye was a little surprised. He lifted the quilt and got on the bed, holding her in his arms. "Wencheng is much better now. Go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."
Song Yuntang nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
As soon as the sun rose, Song Yuntang wrote down a prescription and gave it to Nian'er.
"Nian'er, go to the clinic and get a dose of medicine according to this prescription."
"Is this cousin Wencheng's medicine?" Nian'er asked.
"Yes." Song Yuntang said, "The fever keeps coming back. I need to take some medicine to get better quickly."
When Nian'er brought a bowl of dark brown medicine to Xu Wencheng, his face almost wrinkled.
He looked at Song Yuntang with a pleading look.
"Sister-in-law, can you not drink?"
Song Yuntang just glanced at him indifferently.
"no!"
Xu Wencheng had a fearless look on his face. He picked up the bowl, closed his eyes, raised his head, and swallowed the bitter medicine.
Song Yuntang just found it funny. He was already a man, but he was still afraid of bitter medicine. He reached out and placed two candied fruits in front of him.
"Here, eat this and it won't be bitter anymore."
Seeing her coaxing Xu Wencheng like a child, Nian'er covered her mouth and wanted to laugh.
My cousin Wencheng will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year. He looks tall and big, but he still acts like a child who has not grown up.
My cousin’s wife is only seventeen after the Chinese New Year.
But his personality is quite good and pure.
On second thought, whoever can marry cousin Wencheng in the future will have a happy life.
Song Yuntang saw Xu Wencheng drink the medicine and stood up. "Wencheng, stay at home for the next two days and take care of your health first."
Xu Wencheng didn't dare to refute.
"oh."
I watched her lead Nian'er out to the clinic.
…
It rained for seven or eight days in a row.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The farmers were all smiling and praying for good weather and a good harvest in the coming year.
Many merchants have been worried during this period.
Business was already bad this year due to the poor harvest, and it rained for such a long time that the shop had even less business.
The weather finally cleared up, but when I woke up, the puddles on the road were frozen and the weather was colder than before the rain.
When the weather gets colder, consumption increases. People from poor families try not to go out and stay at home to keep each other warm and save food.
The weather was bad, more and more people were sick, and the clinic was overcrowded.
Song Yuntang was busy every day. Because he was too busy, he spent money to buy two servants, one male and one female, to help with miscellaneous work in the clinic.
He also discussed with doctors Sun and Zhou, who had passed Song Yuntang's assessment, and found four promising medical students, three men and one woman, to serve as apprentices in the clinic with Shunzi.
Seeing this, Nian'er also started to learn little by little during her free time.
When we were busy that day, Song Jinsheng suddenly came to visit.
"Tang'er!"
Hearing the voice, Song Yuntang handed over the matter at hand to Doctor Zhou, then went out holding the hot water bottle at hand.
"Second brother is here!"
She handed the hot water bottle to Song Jinsheng so that he could warm his hands.
Song Jinsheng held the hot water bottle, glanced into her clinic, and chuckled.
"Your business here is pretty good."
"Good business at the clinic is not necessarily a good thing. This year's harvest is not good, and many patients can't afford to see a doctor recently." Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "It's cold now, and my second brother is out and about. He needs to take care of his health. If he has a headache or fever, he should seek treatment in time, and don't delay until it gets worse."
Song Jinsheng nodded.
"I will." After a slight hesitation, he continued, "My mother sent someone to bring me a letter saying that my eldest sister-in-law is about to give birth and asked me to go back to Rongshu Village when I have time. I came to the county town to ask you if you want to go back."
"I won't go back, right?" Song Yuntang looked in the direction of the clinic. "Second brother saw it too. I'm busy here."
Song Jinsheng knew that the reason why Song Yuntang didn't go back was definitely not just because the clinic was busy.
The main thing is that every time I go back, some unpleasant things happen.
So I didn't force her.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll tell mom and my eldest brother and his wife later. I think they will understand you."
After Song Yuntang explained something to the people in the clinic, he led Song Jinsheng home.
"Although I'm not going, I've prepared a gift for my nephew. Second brother, please bring it back to me. When my nephew is born, you can give it to him on my behalf. As for how to deal with the gift, it's up to my eldest brother and his wife. It has nothing to do with me."
Song Jinsheng nodded, "No problem."
"Oh, right." Song Yuntang led him home and told him about Ma's affairs. "If Second Uncle's family asks about it after you go back, you can briefly mention it."
